who is starving himself to death
in Washington, D. C, as a protest

lose to Orville Andrews who is a very
close second.

FURNITURE CONTEST
O’Neill Man Had Entry in a Nation
wide Hunt for Oldest Piece.
John L. Quig, of O’Neill, had an
entry in the furniture contest con
ducted by the Household Science In
stitute of Chicago to find the oldest
piece of mohair covered furniture in
the United States.
The winner is J. H. Greene, a farm
er of near Alton, Va. His entry, a
sofa well over 1J0 years old was a
warded the $250 cash prize by San
ford Mills, Sanford, Maine. The win
ning piece is considered an excellent
example of the American Empire or
Federal period in design. It is cov
ered in a mohair velvet of rose bro
cade pattern, the color being the pop
ular shade of the early mohair velvets
now called velmo, and is in a remark
able state of preservation, consider
ing its great age.
Interest in the contest was wide
spread. More than 3,000 enteries were
received, practically every state in the
Union being represented. Nearly
three months were required to pass
on all the affidavits and entries. Judges
in the contest were Miss Norma Stahle,
executive secretary of the Association
of Arts and Industries; Ross Crane,
inter-rfetionlilly-knoVm interior dec
orator and stylist; and Bernard C.
Jakway, outstanding textile authority.
According to present plans, the sofa
will be displayed at the Century of
Progress world’s fair in Chicago next
year.

BRIEFLY STATED
The postponed meeting of the Wo
man’s Club is called to convene
Wednesday, April 20, at 8 p. m. in
the club rooms.
George H. Johnson, of Lawrence,
Kan., a friend of Wm., Beha and a
Holt county land owner, visited in the
city a few days the past week.
A small blaze of accidental origin
did some damage to furniture at the
Bob Arbuthnot home Monday. The
damage is covered by insurance.
James Gallagher is back to his duties
in the First National after a severe
illness. Mr. Gallagher’s friends are
glad to see him able to be about again.
John Green, of Madison, was in the
city yesterday on a brief business
visit, returning home via Wheeler
county where he has some property
interests.
Eldon Wood of Plainview and Verle
Johnson of Creighton have taken over
Sunset Lodge and are renevating and
decorating preparatory to opening for
business at once.
A surprise party was held at the
A. Walnofer home last Wednesday
evening, it being Mrs. Walnofer’s
birthday. It was a complete surprise
to her as they had gone to Ericson
that day and upon returning home
found 60 or more friends and neigh
bors enjoying themslves dancing.
Arbuthnot & Reka sold a new Chev
rolet coach the past week to Andrew
Clark living south of town. Not as
many new cars are being sold as form
erly, but there are still a good many*
of the various makes seen coming out
in this community and it is evident
Holt county people are going to con
tinue to ride on the rubber tires.
Con Coffey, a former resident here
but now of Texas, has a family of
boys, who, headed by the “old man”
comprise a bowling team that defeated
the Rotary Club at their home town in
a recent match. A newspaper ac
count of the game is sent to P. J.
Biglin. Rolling the big balls down
the ally is evidently quite as popular
elsewhere as in O’Neill.
A. L. Smith and son Forrest of Ar
cadia, Valley county, were in the city
yesterday. They are former residents
here. Mr. Smith had the misfortune
to lose his house, furniture and cloth
ing by fire during February. They
were away from home in the evening,
at their son’s place for a social gath
ering. Going outside he discovered
their home was on fire. The building
and all its contents were distroyed.
Eli Hershiser has developed a new
industry in the city. There are a num
ber of shoe repair shops about town,
but none heretofore have furnished
a leg with the shoe. From a white
cedar p^st Mr. Hershiser made a
wooden leg for Clark Hough who ex
pects to lay aside his crutches today
and step out with a new artificial limb.
We do not pretend to be an authority
on wooden legs but this one looks
like the work of a master craftsman.
In a letter renewing their subscrip
tion, Mrs. E. R. Jensen writes from
Sioux City, mentioning her father,
Arthur Barrett. Mrs. Jensen was
formerly Kathryn Barrett. They were
for many years citizens here and still
regard O’Neill as their “home town.”
She speaks a kindly word also for The
Frontier which is appreciated by the
management. Few if any of the “old
timers” we were not acquainted with
and we are always glad to hear even
a brief word from them.
M. B. Daily, living twenty miles
south of O’Neill, was a caller yester
day. Mr. Daily was at one time a
homesteader over in the Josie neigh
borhood and was active in securing
the government survey of th« Kin
kani homestead lands. He expected
to go to Atkinson for an overnight
visit and then to Swan township for a
visit at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
DeGrofT. At 8.1 he is still robust. Mr
Daily says he cast his first vote for
General U. S. Grant for president*
when the great civil war general was'
a candidate for second term, he being
a little under age when Grant wa
first elected. John Getter of Bliss, he
says, cast his first vote for Grant’s
first election, he coming in on the
second and the two voting together
since then.

Streeter’s father, who is sick. They
remained Sunday night, coming back
to O’Neill early Monday morning.
A barn dance at the Murray ranch
10 miles east of town last night
drew a considerable crowd. The barn
was decorated for the event and a hot
lunch stand just outside furnished the
refreshments. Music was furnished
by Streeter’s.
Sheriff Duffy and Joe Martin went
to Omaha Tuesday with two prisoners
to serve a sixty-day sentence in the
Douglas county jail. Wm. Ross and
Buz Boden were sentenced in county
court last Thursday on a charge of
attempting to holdup the Sunset Lodge
station east of town. They will serve
their time in the Douglas county jail.
The United States treasury depart
ment got quick action in sending to
the national banks a list of the serial
numbers of the currency that went in
to the fifty thousand dollar package
for the Lindberg baby. Through the
courtesy of Mr. Weekes of the O’Neill
National bank of this city The Front
ier has been shown a list. It is not
stated in the word from the treasury
that this is the Lindberg money but
banks are asked if they receive any of
the currency listed to “take note of
the source from which you receive it
and immediately notify theh treasur
er of the United States at Washing
ton, D. C., by telegraph.” The cur

Seed Loan Returns
One hundred and tweny-three farm
ers who have made application for
seed loans had received their checks
on Monday of this week. These 123
applications were approved in the
amount of $21,511.00. Applications
may be made for seed loans until
April 30th. These applications may
be made at the First National Bank at
Stuart, C. E. Havens’ office at Atkin
son, the Ewdng Bank at Ewing and
Townsend’s Hardware at Page and the
Farm Bureau office at O’Neill.
Theie seems to be some misunder
standing about landlords signing wav
icrs. A telegram from L. J. Paulson
of the Minneapolis office states that
the waivers that are being signed by
land lords will only hold for the 1932
crops. The land lord waives his right
to the crop up to the amount of the
Federal loan.
Seed Loan Inspector in County
Mr. Walker, who will act as general
agent out of the Minneapolis Seed
Loan Office, was in town the first of
the week. Mr. Walker will b ein charge
of seed loan work in a number of
northeastern counties. He will check
up on farming operations of the men
who are taking out Federal loans and
will make collections. The probabilities
are that Mr. Walker will make O’Neill
his headquarters.
Standard Varieties Better Than
Grohoma
Many inquiries are coming to the
Nebraska Agricultural College about
Grohoma, a grain sorghum which is
being highly advertised in many states.
Reports from the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and various state ex
periment stations indicate that Gro
homa is not supeior to, and in many
cases is not as good as the standard
grain sorghums which are now being
grown. For instance, a recent report
from the state of Oklahoma, where
Grohoma originated, shows that in
nine tests carried on in different sec
tions of the state Grohoma ranked
14th in yield. In no case was Gro
homa near the top of the list in yield.
For Nebraska conditions, Milo or
Dawn, Pink, or Blackhall Kafir are
more likely to give good results than
Grohoma. It is suggested by the crops
men at the Agricultural College that
if farmers want to try Grohoma that
i they do so on a small scale comparing
j it with standard sorghum varities.

A PUBLIC SHOWING HERE OF
Ford s Latest
MELLOR MOTOR MAKES EXHIBIT
Somehow, a new Ford a ways draws
a crowd. People want to know what
the gentleman at Dearborn has e
volved this time. There is a certain
thrill in seeing “what’s new” whether
you ever expect to have the price to
get one or not.
A territory representative of the
Ford company, A. J. Bilyew of Omaha,
was in the city Sunday and Monday
with one of the new V8 cars that the
motoring public has been interested
in seeing and inquiring about. Ex
perts and laymen pronounce it a
“wow."
The Mellor Motor company went to
no little expense and work to prepare
for the exhibition and they never do
things in a half-way style at that
popular place. The show room was
tastily decorated and everything ar
ranged to make the exhibit of interest
and profit to the hundreds of people
who w'ere coming and going all of
Sunday evening and most of Monday.
Mr. Rilyew went into elaborate detail
in his talks on the construction of the
car, calling attention to various new
features now incorporated to add to
the comfort, safety and rapidity of
motor travel.
The local dealers feel they have
something of exceptional value to offer
the buyers and say they have taken
orders for cars beyond their expecta
tions. They will have a car for dem
onstration in a few days.
The next exhibition west of here
was at Ainsworth.
